They can say anything they want to say 
Try to bring me down 
But I will not allow 
Anyone to succeed 
Hanging clouds over me 
And they can try hard to make me feel 
That I don`t matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe 
Or lose faith in my dreams 

CHORUS: 
`Cause there`s a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try 
But they can`t take that away from me 
From me 

They can do anything they want to you 
lf you let them in 
But they won`t ever win 
If you cling to your pride 
And just push them aside 
See 
I have learned there`s an inner peace I own 
Something in my soul 
That they cannot possess 
So I won`t be afraid 
And darkness will fade 

`Cause there`s a light in me 
That shines brightly 
They can try 
But they can`t take that away from me 

No 
They can`t take this 
Precious love 
l`ll always have inside me 
Certainly the Lord will guide me 
Where I need to go 

They can say anything they want to say 
Try to break me down 
But 1 won`t face the ground 
I will rise steadily 
Sailing out of their reach 

Oh Lord 
They do try hard to make me feel 
That I don`t matter at all 
But I refuse to falter 
In what I believe 
Or lose faith in my dreams 

`Cause there`s a light in me that shines brightly 
They can try 
But they can`t take that away from me 
From me
